About Me

I'm a friendly and easy going person. Some people have mentioned to me that they feel calm and relaxed in my presence. I've met people from all walks of life and am pretty accepting of people.

I'm 27 from Vancouver Island originally. Last year I was living in China and have just recently moved back to Canada. I live in Vancouver and work at Mountain Equipment Co-op as a customer service representative. I've been trying to start a band in the past few months and am really interested in Music!

J'aime jouer la guitare, chanter, composer la musique et jouer avec les autres. Je travaille à MEC le magasin de sports le plus grand au Canada comme service clientele. J'aime aussi faire l'escalade, les randonners, le kayaking et slack lining. N'importe le raison pour être dehors. J'ai déja véccu en Chine pour plusieurs ans et je parle aussi le mandarin.

你好我叫Holly(岑月)。我是加拿大人。我特别喜欢弹吉他,唱歌,写歌和跟别人弹音乐。我在外呼运动公司工作。我也特别喜欢攀岩,爬山,划船什么的。我以前在中国住过。

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My boyfriend Joe and I will be traveling through Europe on a budget. We've never been and would greatly appreciate a place to stay and any advice that you may have about the area:).

When we were living in Kunming, China last year Joe hosted a handful of Travelers that came through. Since we've been in Canada Our place hasn't been big enough to host travelers, but hope to be able to again in the future.

Interests

I love to play the guitar and sing, write songs and jam with other people. I also really enjoy rock climbing, hiking and kayaking, slack lining. Anything reason to be outside. I've lived overseas in China for a handful of years and speak Mandarin. Traveling is also a big one on my list:).
